How to do standards based learning - it's actually quite easy
1, Find and choose your standards for your subject (in this case life science) - go to http://www.floridastandards.org/
2. See which assignments you can match the standard to
or
3. Do research on a subject your like (web, field trip, anything)
4. Create an artifact and place the standard on the artifact
5. Defend your knowledge (public in class, to an expert, many possibilities here)
****This can be done instead of the regular science curriculum if you choose****
